Overview

Situated in an amazingly designed tasteful development in a lovely rural area with swimming pool and shared terrace, dining table and chairs in own sheltered balcony, ideal for two - three people to share. A great base for hiking, exploring remote beaches and chilling out!

A hire car is recommended, both to get there from either SItia or Heraklion airport and to explore the locality of Eastern Crete. There is a beach bar close by and the beach is fairly private. The village is only 30 minute walk away.

There is a bus service.

Ein Miete-Auto wird empfohlen.

The resort is close to the quiet fishing village of Makrigalos. The locals are extremely friendly and the weather is generally awesome! Laundry facilities are scheduled to be available on site by April 2011.

A full range of equipment for cooking in is provided. Free broadband internet service is included.

An ideal base for exploration of this relatively undiscovered area, TV and wifi internet connection.

South East Crete: There are lots of places to visit and things to do. For some ideas visit:

Welcome Pack: Each rental comes with a Welcome Pack including lovely fresh bread, butter, jam, tea coffee and fruit to provide your first breakfast or snack when you arrive. Even if you arrive late at night, the pack will be waiting for you.

If you want to go with friends there are other apartments and villas within Bay View and contact with owners can be arranged so that you and your friends can all be accomodated!

Guestbook comments from the owner

A lovely clean and peaceful environment. Enjoyed walks to the beach and a lovely bar/restaurent discovered just around the corner! The locals were really friendly. Definately going back to explore further next year.

Holiday at 18G Bayview in June 2014

5
of 5

We arrived at BayView late at night and found the apartment very easily thanks to the excellent directions.

The apartment is very modern, clean and spacious with a double bed that is part of the main room (a screen is provided incase you need privacy) plus another room with a single bed. Good sized wardrobes in the main room, plenty of hangers and drawers.

The kitchen is very well equipped - even has a dishwasher in the event that you plan to self-cater !

The airconditioning unit is very effective and there are also two fans. We found it especially good that the windows had fly screens so we could open the windows without the worry of insects.

The bathroom is really good for Greece. The shower is self-contained, there are storage cupboards for all your toiletries, and you can flush paper down the toilet - another modern twist - in many places in Greece you can't do this!

There is a router so you can log onto your own wifi, even though the complex has 2 free wifi connections, 18G's own router is especially good as no one else is using up your bandwidth. There are plenty of plug sockets, all in easy to access places! (Also unusual for Greece).

The laundry and a thorough clean is done once a week.

The terrace outside the front door has a table and 4 chairs, it is west facing so doesn't get the sun in the morning, but does later in the afternoon.

18G is very close to the three swimming pools which are spotlessly clean, there are also showers at the side of the pools and plenty of sunbeds.

The managers at Bayview Anja and Chris are very friendly and accommodating. They sell a six pack of 1.5 litres of water at €2 - very handy so you don't have to carry water a great distance. They also provided us with 2 beach towels as well as the 2 belonging to the owner.

We felt it was the perfect place for a restful holiday. In my opinion you do need a car as the roads around there are quite fast - we didn't feel safe walking, and it's quite a distance into Makrigialos in the heat of the day.

The area is a fab place to explore whether or not you are a walker. There are some superb beaches, some excellent tavernas with very reasonably priced meals and drinks.

We would definitely go there again.

Great place, great apartment

The apartment was clean and well equiped with internet access which meant we could listen to the radio etc. The area is great for quiet unspoilt beaches and for walking with challenging hills too. Bars and restaurants are within 20 - 30 minutes on foot from the apartment. There is a lovely pool and outside area. I recommend going to town - Lidl in Ierapeter for example - to get supplies.

The apartment is air conditioned so there is escape from the heat of the day [and night] if needed.

A really nice touch is the welcome pack containing food and drink for your first meal and more.

This apartment was a great base for walking and exploring with a fantastic clean pool, terrace and local bars just 20 minutes walk away. The free internet facilities were particularly useful enbling us to listen to UK radio and watch UK TV if we wanted to not that we had much time for this! Although late in the year, the temperature was fine and the local bars and restaurants offered great variety at reasonable prices. Hot tip - go to Lidl to stock up!!

Excellent stay at Bay View

Really enjoyed our stay at Bay View. The apartment was excellent and very clean. The pool was lovely and a very good size. The nearby town was very good with lovely beaches, plenty of places to eat, drink and shop. Excellent restaurant 2 km away (Dragons Cave). People very friendly. Scenery amazing but a car is a must. Would highly recommend this beautiful area of Crete and the apartments at Bay View.

Car: recommended

Bayview Resort Crete is registered under number 1040K123K3018001 at the Greek National Organisation of Tourism.

This is a quiet corner of Crete, there are spectactular walks from the mountains to the coast. Tourists are catered for, there are many tavernas, sunbeds and shops along the coast road, but you can still find lots of deserted coves, you can walk in the hills and see very few people. Very nearby to explore are the Pefki Gorge, the Butterfly Gorge from Koutsouras and the Perivolaki Gorge. The summits of Dihkti and Thriptis are accessible and tempting. Ierapetra and Sitia are within half an hours drive for supplies and a bit of 'town'.
